The Donald Trump White House revenge run is based on his favorite scripture, the Old Testament's "eye for an eye." He supercharged it by using lies as the basis for his taking another's eye.
Jesus offered a different eye related teaching, one that involves self reflection and possibly empathy. It's hard to consider those approaches when one is engaged in constant image monitoring and surface level optimization.
An eye for an eye based on lies. Trump's retaliatory impulse has no end. Should Donald Trump's will be done the White House will need lots of sticks for eye jabbing. That is almost the antithesis of Christ's teachings.
Update 6-18-23: Former Attorney General Bill Barr eviscerated Trump's handling of classified documents on Face the Nation. Barr cited Trump's need for constant adulation and his practice of putting his image (self interest) above what's best for the U.S.
"...our country can’t be a therapy session for a troubled man like this..."
Update 6-21-23: A conservative Christian said:
“You have in Donald Trump the person who probably most embodies the antithesis of the Sermon on the Mount, the person of Jesus, and the teachings of Jesus."
Update 6-28-23: Continual liar Trump characterized his recently released recorded confession of holding classified documents as "bravado." Recall his taped description of sexually assaulting women as "locker room talk." Boys will be boys, especially the selfish, spoiled ones.
Update 6-30-23: Trump is incapable of self reflection because everything he does is based on his omnipotence and infallibility. He's an ungodly god.
Update 7-16-23: Project much?
Trump's campaign spokesman, told Fox News Digital. "Everything that comes out of (Chris Christie's) mouth is a lie wrapped in incoherent psychotic rage and he needs to get some professional help."
Update 8-5-23: Trump's unquenchable thirst for revenge has grown with each legal indictment. He threw a fit after a judge called him "Mr."
Yesterday Mr. Trump posted on his dumpster fire social media site. Trump wrote in all capital letters:
“If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”
That turned into a request to the judge for a protective order to stop Mr. Trump's incessant whining.
Update 8-7-23: Trump's "eye for an eye" social media postings may actually be the Donald poking himself in the eye. There a new layer in Dante's Hell for Trump lawyers where the banned work in front of a pile of cash frozen in ice while their client burns every bit of their 24/7 work product.
Update 8-9-23: After launching a series of fat jokes at former Gov. Chris Christie Trump pretended to take the high road while still deep in the gutter.
